OK everyone, I just tried the Lenovo M92P mini computer that someone else advised about getting. It was $189.00 and free shipping so I gave it a shot.

It has 4 GB of ram and a 320GB hard drive. So I received it yesterday and it was suppose to be a lease return, refurbished unit and was advised it may have scratches. It looks brand new, not one scratch and opened it up and there was no dust caked on, even the fan blades where clean. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. This does not mean if you decide to get one that it will be the same but mine is awesome. I bought a Adata 128gb ssd and cloned the disc that already had a fresh copy of windows 10 pro from a win 7 upgrade. The SSD was about $35 from Amazon. Aomei backupper disc clone software as it could clone to a smaller ssd than the original HHD. Oh yes it was free and worked great. OK, before the ssd it took about 2 minutes to load, maybe a bit less, anyway it was annoying. After the SSD install, This is no B.S. either, 10 seconds to windows 10 screen and nothing circling in waiting. Unbelievable. I could not believe it. It did not have any extra bloatware or anything on it so I'm sure that helped. This morning at 6:30 AM my wife and I got up and I said to her watch this, pushed the button and watched her reaction, she did a double take and said no way. I was up till midnight the night before while she watch me boot and re boot the old hhd while I was trying to install EaseUS, and Acronis disc cloners before I found Aomei. They could not clone to a smaller ssd without paying the $50 ransome. So anyway, installed the latest Acorn software 4.12 and hooked it up and it works awesome. I had been using my laptop to run it and decided to do a stand alone computer thus the Lenovo M92P. So I hope this may help anyone looking for a computer that will run Centroid Acorn without spending an arm and a leg. The i5 processor in it single threads at about 1900 +, I can't remember the whole number, but it was a go anyway.
